Master Watercolour Mark-Making – Your First Step to Beautiful Leaves

Master Watercolour Mark-Making – Your First Step to Beautiful Leaves

Before you paint stunning watercolour leaves or flowers, there’s one skill every beginner needs: mark-making. These simple brush strokes are the foundation of all your future watercolour art—and in this short, beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn them step by step.

In this 20-minute lesson, you’ll:

• Warm up with simple lines to get comfortable with your brush.
• Explore thick and thin strokes by adjusting pressure.
• Practice flicks and strokes that naturally evolve into leaves.

Using just one small brush and a bit of green paint, you’ll discover how playful marks can quickly turn into expressive, natural shapes. This is the same technique I use in my watercolour products—once you get the feel, your own art comes alive.

By the end of the class, you’ll be confidently filling pages with lively strokes and leaves – and ready to take the next step into painting loose, expressive roses.
